What Are Fastbraces?
Fastbraces are a revolutionary orthodontic system that works differently from traditional braces. Instead of moving the crown of the tooth in the first year and the root in the second, Fastbraces are designed to move both the crown and root of the teeth simultaneously from the very beginning of treatment. This is achieved through a unique patented triangular bracket design and a special square wire.This innovative mechanics allows for faster results, often completing treatment in just a few months to about a year, compared to the 18-36 months typically associated with conventional braces.
Benefits of Choosing Fastbraces at Young Dental Care
Opting for Fastbraces at our Everett dental office offers several compelling advantages:- Faster Treatment Time: The most significant benefit is the accelerated treatment, often completed in months rather than years, reducing the overall time you wear braces.
- Increased Comfort: The unique design of Fastbraces brackets and wires typically means less friction and lower forces are needed, which can lead to reduced discomfort compared to traditional braces.
- Less Retention Time: In many cases, patients need to wear retainers for a much shorter period (sometimes just 15-20 minutes a day) after Fastbraces treatment, which is a major convenience.
- Affordable: Due to the shorter treatment time, the cost of Fastbraces can sometimes be more affordable than traditional orthodontic solutions.
- Effective for Various Cases: Fastbraces can effectively treat a wide range of orthodontic issues, including crooked teeth, crowding, spacing, and bite problems.
- Safe & Proven Technology: Fastbraces Technology has been developed and tested for over 25 years and is backed by university research.
How Do Fastbraces Work?
- Triangular Brackets: Unlike square traditional brackets, Fastbraces' patented triangular brackets allow for more flexibility and a larger surface area to guide the tooth.
- Special Square Wire: A super-elastic, heat-activated square wire works with the triangular brackets to exert gentle, continuous forces on both the crown and root of the tooth simultaneously. This dual movement from day one accelerates the entire straightening process.
The Fastbraces Process at Young Dental Care
Your journey to a faster, straighter smile with Fastbraces at our Everett dental clinic typically involves these steps:- Initial Consultation & Assessment: Dr. Park will conduct a thorough examination, including digital X-rays and imaging, to determine if Fastbraces are the right solution for your specific needs and smile goals.
- Placement of Fastbraces: If you're a good candidate, the unique Fastbraces triangular brackets are bonded to your teeth, and the special square wire is threaded through them.
- Regular, Shorter Appointments: You'll have periodic, typically shorter, follow-up appointments with Dr. Park to monitor your progress and make minor adjustments.
- Completion & Retention: Once your teeth have reached their ideal alignment (often in less than a year!), your Fastbraces will be removed, and you'll receive a retainer. The exciting news is that Fastbraces often require significantly less retainer wear time than conventional braces.
FAQs
How much faster are Fastbraces compared to traditional braces?
Fastbraces are designed to move teeth more efficiently than conventional braces, often completing treatment in significantly less time. While traditional braces can take 18-36 months, many Fastbraces cases are completed in just a few months to about a year, depending on the individual's needs.
Are Fastbraces more uncomfortable than traditional braces due to faster movement?
Surprisingly, no! Fastbraces are engineered to be comfortable. Their unique triangular brackets and special square wire are designed to deliver gentle, continuous forces that move both the crown and root of the tooth simultaneously, often resulting in less friction and reduced discomfort compared to the heavy forces sometimes associated with traditional braces.
What types of orthodontic issues can Fastbraces treat?
Fastbraces can effectively address a wide range of common orthodontic problems. This includes correcting crooked teeth, crowded teeth, spacing issues, and various bite irregularities such as overbites, underbites, and crossbites. Dr. Young Park will assess your specific needs during your consultation to determine if Fastbraces are the ideal solution for your smile.
Do I still need to wear a retainer after Fastbraces treatment?
Yes, a retainer is still essential after Fastbraces treatment to maintain your new, straight smile and prevent teeth from shifting back. However, one of the significant advantages of Fastbraces is that the required retainer wear time is often much shorter – sometimes just 15-20 minutes a day or while sleeping, which is a considerable convenience compared to traditional methods.
